Photo Friday

I can’t believe that it is Friday again. In reality I think that I have pretty much lost track of time since I came out to the east coast for the summer and especially since I came to camp. I have been at camp for almost a week, it is crazy. I can’t wait for the kids to arrive, and that isn’t until next week! I did however, remember that I should post a photo today, though I don’t remember what it was that made me even think that it was Friday!

A little girl looks out at the water in La Rochelle, France

I captured this image in La Rochelle, France while I was working on the Ms. Prinsendam. As I mentioned in my last post, people watching can be very fun and interesting. This girl was with another young girl who I assumed was her sister, but there were no parents in sight. I could pass up getting a few shots of her looking out from the ramparts (not sure if that is really the right term) at the ocean.

This images was touched up in Photoshop. I added a watercolor filter effect to it to enhance the texture. I would probably approach the image differently today than I did four years ago when I shot it. It is an image that I come back to often, so maybe I will revisit it and see if I can make it any better than it is. I have used in cards before and people have told me that, out of all the cards that I made, this was one of the favorites. I probably need to make some more!

As always, comments, questions, and critique are always welcome!

A sweet sweet picture! I love it, it seems like she is looking for something and I don't know why it looks as if she was curious, eager to go and play in a stone labyrinth…that's why your pictures are so great, they transport me and make me imagine a whole new world 🙂 have a great weekend!
